Default Power of the Blogs

A most interesting article on the BBC site:


Quote:
The media should not ignore the contribution bloggers can make
For many in the "mainstream media", as bloggers call us, weblogs are at best a nuisance and at worst dangerous.
They are seen as the rantings and ravings either of the unbalanced or the tedious.

My experience over the past few months has led me to an opposite conclusion.

I regard the blogosphere as a source of criticism that must be listened to and as a source of information that can be used.

The mainstream media (MSM in the jargon) has to sit up and take notice and develop some policies to meet this challenge.

Not only do the MSM need to take note, but also political parties. What about a UKIP blog?

I've been told the archives section is good. Thoughts?
